today...

I am again reminded that this life is temporary and that sooner or later, we all will go back to our Creator. I am also reminded to be very thankful for this gift of life and appreciate who and what I have right now. Life is so short, so I gotta live every single day to the fullest!

I've been hearing news these past days about people I know getting sick. Big C is a big scare and new type of cancer like malignant Mesothelioma is now getting common too. I think it's high time to live a healthy lifestyle and watch what we eat... one way of showing appreciation to this gift of life!

have a great weekend, everyone!

BOF Break!


this was taken at The Venetian Hotel, Macau and this is where JunPyo broke up with Jandi... one of the most heartbreaking scenes in Boys Over Flowers. Went to Macau last year with my sister, and not knowing that this very bridge would mean a lot! Just so lucky that we stopped at this bridge out of the many bridges inside the hotel. Hehehe. I know I sound crazy to non-BOF fans (in short, sa mga dili ka relate).

In the movie, JunPyo owned this very big hotel in Macau.. Yes, it's really a BIG, BIG hotel and the biggest so far that I've been to. Jandi went to Macau just to visit JunPyo after months of no communication and not going back to Korea. But, to her surprised, JunPyo changed a lot already to the point of not wanting to see Jandi and prefer to work with his business plan consultants.

Oh, I should stop writing now, and you better watch the series by yourself! I have the complete episodes, so just message me if you want to have a copy! A must watch! :D

friday!

and it's not a fly day for me...

With so many things to do, I can't afford to spend my time outside... and besides, I just had my break/laag moments days ago. So, that was enough. Though still, I can't help but plan another adventure and can't help browsing for cheap flights. Can you blame me if these kind of stuffs keep me going and encourage me to work everyday with smiles? Though an Orlando vacation packages would be too much too handle financially, but I'll be very happy if I can visit Australia or Japan soon, with my sister and a friend as a sponsor!

These kind of thoughts lighten my stressful Friday! Have a great day everyone!

caffeine overload!

I should have known better what caffeine can do to me during night time! It feels like I haven't slept since last night, and here I am, still wide awake and currently sipping another cup of coffee. I am really hoping that I'll have a very good sleep tonight... and yes, I've been preparing my acne remedy in case! I really need to be reminded again that no coffee for me starting 6PM.

Today is a work mode day. Haayz.

look at our tats!


This was taken during the Sinulog celebration. We never really had much time to street party that much since it rained, but, it never dampen our spirits. We even had henna tattoos to be one with the party peeps. :) Never mind if my skin got irritated a little after and made me read a lot of skin id reviews as long as we did enjoy. Hehehe. Then the grand fireworks display after in Ayala! Fireworks were better than last year, but, we waited for an hour to start! Hopefully, next year, they will really stick to the schedule. :)

And the day ended with Sinulog Vodka Jam (as what JP would call it) with friends. Fun, fun, fun! Til next year!

quick hello!

I just spent my weekend in a different way that I planned! It took a little convincing for me to change my mind at the last minute... and it was all worth it! I met a very warm family, though their setup is a little different from mine... but I find it cute, amazing, and funny in a good way. I learned a little drama of what they have been through and how the family coped with life's struggle. But, what's important is the present, and how you appreciate and be thankful of life having those memories and experiences of the past. :)

And yes, weekend was also about FOOD and I need some quick weight loss diets coz I feel like a gained extra pounds already! There was an overflowing of food and was able to bring food for my friends too. Hehehe. Thank You. You made many stomachs happy. :)

GTG! Will blog more soon. :)

blogger's block

I feel like I have so many things I want to write, but, can't seem to organize my thoughts. So now, I am writing about my struggle on how to put everything in words. Or probably, I am just afraid to speak my mind in this very public space.

I need noise and an effective destruction. What's happening to me? Maybe this is part of human growth hormone... or it's just part of being a woman.

Gawd, I miss those times where I can freely write my thoughts whether I am angry, sad or happy. Can I have those back again, please?

vodka overload!

my first time to witness the effect of vodka to me... Yes, it was love at first taste, with no strong alcohol odor, plus, it just really tastes good... though I suffered from a little hangover after. Well, I just forgot the first commandment of drinking, that's why, I had headache after. Hehehe. But really, if budget is not a problem next drinking session, it should be Absolut Vodka (not even the Bar).

My appetite just got back actually, after 2 days of not eating anything. Well, I forget about diet aids for awhile, though it looks like I'll be careful with what I am eating... now that all food looks delicious again! Hahaha!

Good night!

my January so far...

As if my December activities/laag were not enough, my January was even more hectic... starting with the 2-day reunion with the Magdoza clan. Overflowing food and drinks... that's why, I am now seriously looking for the best weight loss pills after gaining weight during the holidays. Well, I wasn't able to join them on the beach the second day since I need a full 8-hr sleep and was super tired already for the consecutive laags!

Meet the green team, the Saletrero's. There were 6 different colors during the reunion, and we are the most numbered team..

Went back to Cebu and meet our relatives from US... they were here in Cebu just to relax and chill. Naksi and I had the privileged to stay in a suite hotel for two days! Also ride the coaster edge the second time around, and still, it scares me to death!

And just last weekend, the amazing Lea Salonga concert! Her voice made me chill! It was all worth it paying the VIP tickets just to be at the front row seat. I'll definitely want to watch her concerts again..

Then, Sinulog festival this weekend!

Pit Senyor!

busy!

But being busy will not stop me from watching Avatar tonight! I did not expect that most of my friends haven't seen the movie yet so if will be fun watching the movie in group! Excited!

--

Cebu is now super alive with Sinulog Festival fast approaching. I love the spirit! :)

--

Trying to start the year right by keeping track of my expenses... I admit I am not that good in handling expenses especially that I easily get stressed out, but I think so far, I am doing fine. :) I need to save and cut unnecessary expenses since another family project will start... And aside from that, I need to put hot/cold shower at home and a water softener for water treatment. Well, so much to the endless to-buys... gotta go! Nyt!

lost

Yes, i am lost, but, don't worry, I am lost in a happy way. :)

Well, I am talking about being lost in JunPyo, JanDi and the rest of the F4's world. You might be probably laughing right now, but, I guess I am a sucker of cute, romantic movies/tv series. I never really intend to watch Boys Over Flower, but, I accidentally watched one episode on TV, the one that is dubbed in Tagalog. I admit, I instantly heart JunPyo's character.. how he can be so rude, and yet, romantic at the same time.. and how he can be soo gorgeous in his Hudson jeans even without smiling. But since I know I can't watch it every night, so I just gave up watching the whole series. Until, I met my cousin who had all 25 episodes... and the next thing I knew, I am already super hooked with the series. If you intend to watch it, I highly suggest the Korean that has English subtitles. I think, you will be able to understand each of their characters well, just hearing their real voices, and not the dubbed ones.

So, if you are a hopeless romantic like me, or simply want to feel good... watch Boys Over Flowers. ;)

i am back!

I hope this time I am back for the regular programming for real. The past few days was so hectic for me! Not that I am complaining, though schedule was hectic, it was full of FUN! So where was I these past days? So, aside from work, met our relatives from the US and tour them around Cebu, enjoyed the posh hotel accommodation for two days (and it's for free!), watched Lea Salonga's concert with a front row seat (super dream come true) and got lost in someone else's world again(will elaborate soon). So, how can I complain when I am having this much fun??? Oh well, I am still kinda lost now, but, I need to wake up ASAP and be back to reality. I have to face deadlines, attend the free life insurance quote, respond to mails and a lot more.

I am really tired now, but, I am all smiles. =)

random new year post

and this would be my 2nd official entry for 2010. hehehe.

Well, I don't really normally make a list of New Year's resolution, what I do is I'll try to start the year right, and strive to be a better person each year. And aside from striving to be a better person, I also want to catch up and be updated with movies! Gosh I feel awful after reading the list of a-must-watch-movies for 2009... I only got 3 in the checklist! Where was I in 2009?

Aside from that, I want to be more bonded with my friends, especially those I don't see often. Special shoutout to Ms. Plano cosmetic dentist and Mrs Psych! Haven't seen you girls last Christmas... :( Hope to see you soon!

Got to go. Need to pack my things. I am super gonna miss my room, especially my bed! If only I can bring you with me!!

first post for 2010

for my first entry of 2010, i would like to thank the Lord for the amazing 2009 and for all the blessings that he has showered unto me...

for the gift of people -- thank you Lord for these very amazing people I have in my life right now! thank you for giving them to me, and making them part of my life. And even those people who just come and go, and yet, made a mark in my life.

for the gift of experiences -- i thank you Lord not only for the beautiful and happy memories of 2009, but also for those trying times that challenged my very person... those times that made me a better person, made me stronger, and those times that strengthened my faith in You.

I can't express everything in words, but, I am really very grateful for everything. And may you continue to guide me as I walk through another year of uncertainties with full of hope and trust in You.

Thank You, Lord!!!
